ABSTRACT:
A liquid carrier withdrawal apparatus for a liquid electrophotographic imaging system for withdrawing a liquid carrier by separating the liquid carrier from a developer liquid embedded on a photoreceptor for a liquid electrophotographic imaging system. The liquid carrier withdrawal apparatus for a liquid electrophotographic imaging system using a mixed liquid of a toner and a liquid carrier as a developer liquid for developing a latent image formed on a photoreceptor, includes a core rotatably incorporated in the liquid electrophotographic imaging system to be supported thereto and having a cavity formed in its body and a plurality of through holes penetrating from the outer surface of its body to the cavity, an absorbing member coated on the outer surface of the core in contact with the photoreceptor, for absorbing the liquid carrier contained in the developer liquid embedded on the photoreceptor, and liquid carrier exhausting device for introducing the liquid carrier absorbed into the absorbing member into the cavity through the plurality of through holes of the core and exhausting the liquid carrier absorbed into the cavity to the outside of the core. Therefore, the system configuration for withdrawing the liquid carrier becomes simplified and the liquid carrier absorbing power by the absorbing member can be improved.
